I finally own a pair of oxford style shoes or shoes that aren't black in general. Hoorah. They were pretty cheap so I hope they don't fall apart.

Also I want to share this with you. It is the 'Five Most Common Regrets' written by a nurse working in palliative care. Reading this made me realise that sometimes you must break out of your everyday routine to discover happiness. She would ask her patients who were close to death, if they had any regrets. She found some common themes..

1. I wish I had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

wow, i really love that article you shared. i love hearing wisdom from those who have already lived their lives, and are looking back.. makes me really hope i can take their advice and not look back at my life with regret x

Love the colour of those shoes, and those sorts of articles always get to me. Maybe because I'll be graduating from a law degree this year and wanting to work in fashion?? Haha. Life's too short not to do what you love, I say!

thanks for your comment! xoxi've been waiting to buy a pair of oxfords because i want a really special pair- these are perfect. i've never seen any in blue! i need to read that article too when i have some time, so i'll be back! i just became a follower. please follow me too if you're interested :)http://indieelectronicalternative.blogspot.com/

THOSE are the shoes I've been looking for. Back in the 80s, we called them jazz shoes...so I've looked them up by that name and had trouble finding the kind you'd wear on the street (not for jazz dancing!). Now I know what to call them in my searches.

Sometimes I have regrets but then I think about the other decisions I made in my life which made me happy, and I smile again. We can't have it all.. and it's sad I guess..I need to live about 5 lives to achieve everything I want.Gorgeous shoes! :)

awww, i agree with all of those regrets...like knowing so in the future that i will regrets some of things like these. aha, and gorgeous shoes!is atseoul and good website? good quality and stuff? Krissy xoxo

I saw the pic and read your title on my Reader's feed. I was like, "oh no, she can't regret those awesome shoesss!!" I agree with you on your regrets, especially the last one. I wish I stayed in touch with my friends.

Oh I cannot remember if I commented here already or not but I do love those powder blue Oxfords- so gorgeous. That article I think, strikes a chord with most of us, so sad but wow, it's time to make a positive change I think! Thanks for sharing!

Hey Thanks for your comment on my post "Fashion Bloggers, Why?"!!. I also find the topic quite critical which is why I posted it, since I could not get it out of my head.I kind of find the whole psychology connected to fashion blogger rather interesting... including me, i have to say. Since I don't pretend that I am fashionable, but I do like to dress up and look stylish. Who doesn’t'? Why not share it with the world? The question is just, how far do you go? What do you want to achieve? And are you willing to be artificial just to be recognized?

I seriously do not know the answer, but maybe that is what makes the topic interesting.
